Ferguson: That was the bestManchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed the ability of star Cristiano Ronaldo and praised his wonderful free kick against Portsmouth.
Fergie said: “Have I seen a better free-kick in the Premier League? No, that must be the best.
“It was within two or three inches of the junction of the crossbar and post. No goalkeeper would have saved it.
"It was a marvellous hit. Ryan Giggs used to take them for us and so did David Beckham.
"But Cristiano’s strike rate is definitely the best — it’s phenomenal.
“It was a fantastic performance — one of our best of the season. I can’t believe it only ended up 2-0.”
Ronaldo himself said: “That was probably my best-ever goal. I work on this in training and I am very pleased to score.”
